Today received my cresta temperature sensors (2) Powered them and “Voila…” visible in Vera thru the RfxCom miracle
the only problem (propably not) is that it created multiple devices which doesn’t do anything… is this because it can have 3 channels?
so per sensor I have a temp and a hygro, but then times 3 .
Can these device be removed(they come back on the next data push) or are they needed?
ps.
Sorry to Hijack this thread again, but didn’t find the info needed and making a new topic for it seemed kinda trivial…

Strange. The three temperature devices for one sensor are displaying the same value ?
You should contact RFXCOM to check if it is normal. Or RFXCOM will probably answer directly in this topic.

One solution is to set variable AutoCreate to value 0 and reload. Then you suppress the devices you don’t need. And that’s all.

No problem, I think you posted at the right place.
Hi, I’ve just got some Siemens LightwaveRF power sockets which came with a remote control and I’m having real trouble seeing/creating anything to do with them via the plug-in.
Protocol wise - I only have AC and Oregon Scientific Selected.
A power socket is in position and paired with button ‘3’ on the remote with the slider (which has options a-d) set to ‘a’ yet nothing is appearing on the Vera UI. Even if i click any button on the remote nothing happens.
What am I missing ?
My goal is to have Vera know and use the ‘3’ remote code to turn on/off the socket

[quote=“kevinvanlooy, post:504, topic:170604”]In order to show what I have with the multiple devices for the cresta temp sensors,
see the attached screen cap.
The values aren’t duplicate just a number of devices that just sit there…

Please check with the RFXmngr RFXCOM application what messages re received.
[quote=“lolodomo, post:509, topic:170604”]Is KD101 only smoke detector ?
What is the “pair” feature ?[/quote]
Well i guess you can pair the detectors.
this way they “see” each other.
When one detector is activated, the other detectors that its paired with, will also make some alarm beeps…
I guess the pairing process is done when installing them.
Thanks for the direction on using AD, I completely misread the protocol on the rfxcom user guide. The problem I now have is that the plug and one press of the remote, it’s created the following 2 devices.
1 = A Binary Light called “RFX Light L5.0/F0D664/03”
2 = A Window Covering called “RFX Window WC/L5.0/000003/03”
The above Binary Light device works well (on/off) which allows me to control the socket (love it!) but it seems strange that Vera deems a power socket/outlet as a light
Lolodomo - Doyou have any idea why the plug is being seen as a Window Covering?

It looks like the binary light device has been created by a command coming from a remote having id F0D664 while the window covering device has been created by a command coming from a remote having id 000003.
Do you have only one remote ?
Maybe an error of the RFXtrx ?
Try deleting the WC device, reload and check if the device is created again when you push the remote button.
I only have the 1 remote and the only button I pressed (was the one paired with the plug which) was button 3 on the remote. To help you, I’ve just pressed all the other buttons 1,2 & 4 which have all created a binary light on the UI devices called as follows…
Hi - I removed the Window Covering called RFX Window WC/L5.0/000003/03 and have so far been unable to make it come back.
Therefore I can only assume the RFXrtx misread the remote signal and that’s what your plugin translated…
It’s a shame there’s not a device profile/icon in Vera more suited to a power socket, however I understand the concept of a binary light and it being either on/off, plus I guess there is no way for the system to know what the remote is being used to control…
For impatient users, I just committed new code that completes security part and add scene control from security/X10/ARC/AC/LightwaveRF remotes.
That means that now ARC (old protocol) and AC (new protocol) doorbells can be managed.
For ARC doorbell, scene with a number from 33 to 48 (it depends on the unit code defined for the doorbell) will be activated. I have suppressed the door device.
For AC doorbell, scene nimber 100 will be activated.
Before the final release, remains to do:
new remote device for LightwaveRF including mood buttons
Hi @lolodomo - it’s always great to see what your working on…
And the last thing I ever want to do is sound impatient, but I did want to see if i could try and keep the idea we discussed a while back (below) on your radar/road map for a future release

I keep the idea but only for a future version.
I want to release a new version as soon as possible because the gap is already big between the new and the previous version, and so my priority is to finish first the current work.
I’ve found my old ATI RF Remote Wonder, so if you want to implement the functionality and have someone test it for a future release - just let me know.[/quote]
I just committed changes that add support for ATI and Medion remotes.
Please try and give me a feedback.
A Vera event will be triggerred each time you push a button of the remote, the scene number is the code of the button (please check the RFXCOM documentation).
You can send a command from the Vera UI, enter the code and push the “Send” button. And you can send an order from a scene using the callback “SendCode” (luup.call_action …).
